LLM Wiki

A pattern for building personal knowledge bases using LLMs.

This is an idea file, it is designed to be copy pasted to your own LLM Agent (e.g. OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode / Pi, or etc.). Its goal is to communicate the high level idea, but your agent will build out the specifics in collaboration with you.

The core idea

Most people's experience with LLMs and documents looks like RAG: you upload a collection of files, the LLM retrieves relevant chunks at query time, and generates an answer. This works, but the LLM is rediscovering knowledge from scratch on every question. There's no accumulation. Ask a subtle question that requires synthesizing five documents, and the LLM has to find and piece together the relevant fragments every time. Nothing is built up. NotebookLM, ChatGPT file uploads, and most RAG systems work this way.

Kill every warning of "The default interactive shell is now zsh." everywhere on MacOS

I'm well aware of how old the version of Bash is that ships with MacOS and Apple's public deprecation plans. That said, I don't like having to fiddle with this in VS Code and every other tool that tries to be clever. This will kill the message everywhere for processes of this user. Don't bother screwing around with $HOME .bashrc .profiile .bash_profile BS. Or do, but realize the local config specific to the user won't suffice for VS Code et al. You can also use Brew to do this, which will use the most recent version of Bash, but I have a love-hate relationship with Brew and prefer to use this approach instead. Caveat Emptor: This works for me, but use at your own risk.

How to setup signed commits on GitHub

How to add SSH Keys to GitHub

Because Github's documentation is confusing af

  1. Create an ssh key
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "<your_github_noreply_email>"

  1. Enter a secure passphrase (if you wish)

  2. Add your ssh key to the ssh agent

    1. Start the ssh agent
    eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

  3. Add your ssh private key to the ssh agent (Default name would be id_ed25519)
